Documented artist rigs
Every count starts with the sourced, evidence-backed gear of 370 J-rock artists on Equipboard — interviews, photos, and rig breakdowns, not guesswork.
Community signal
Saves and gear-photo tags from players who love this genre add weight, so the lists reflect who actually plays this stuff.
Distinctive, not just popular
We compare J-rock usage to all of Equipboard — so a tuner everyone owns doesn't drown out the gear that makes this genre sound like itself.
